COMARUM L. 

 C. palustre L. Marsh Five-finger. 



(Potentilla palustris Scop ) 

 In sphagnum swamps and peat bogs in a few of the northern 

 counties. Frequent but not abundant. Our northern counties- 

 represent about the southern limit of the species. 

 Flowers in June and July.

 (Bradner); Marshall (Hessler). 



WALDSTBINIA Willd. 



W. fragarioides (Micbx.) Tratt. Barren Strawberry. 



Occasional in woods and on shaded hillsides in the central and 

 southern counties of the State. No definite reports of stations- 

 are in my hands, but several herbarium specimens attest its pres- 

 ence in the State. 



Flowering season, May and June. 



GEUM L. 



G. rivale L. Purple or Water Avens. 



This interesting northern form was added to the State flora by 

 Mr. W. B. Van Gorder, who collected it in swamp regions in 

 northern Indiana. It will probably be found in similar situations - 

 in other northern counties. 



Collected in flower June 17. 



Noble (Van Gorder). 



G. vernum (Raf.) T. and G. Spring Avens. 



Widely distributed through the State in low, wet grounds in 

 shaded places. Usually abundant in the stations in which found. 



Flowers from May until August.
